What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Cancer

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal investigates areas of study like Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), Epidemiology, 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak and Mortality rate. It focuses on Epidemiology but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Acute coronary syndrome, Environmental health, Antibiotic resistance, Public health and Pediatrics. The concepts on Environmental health presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Socioeconomic status and Logistic regression.

Antibiotic resistance research in Journal of epidemiology and global health involves the investigation of University hospital studies, all of which are linked to disciplines such as Disease. While Public health is the focus of Journal of epidemiology and global health, it also provided insights into the studies of Coronary artery disease and Developing country. While Journal of epidemiology and global health focused on Mortality rate, it was also able to explore topics like Incidence (epidemiology), Retrospective cohort study and Cohort.

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 11.76% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 26.67% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 20.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.33% of all publications and 40.00% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Educational Opportunities in Public Health and Epidemiology

One potential enhancement for this article could be to add a section on opportunities for further education and professional development in areas of public health and epidemiology. As our readers are primarily individuals interested in these fields, the addition of such a section would undoubtedly be beneficial. Given the comprehensive and open nature of these fields, there are numerous avenues and opportunities for individuals to go in-depth with their studies and professional development. For instance, for those interested in diving headfirst into interdisciplinary studies like those presented in the Journal of Epidemiology and Global Health, deciding to pursue an LPN program could be a viable option. Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) have the chance to be at the forefront of patient healthcare, and combining this hands-on role with the theory and research from epidemiology can lead to a well-rounded and exciting career. For instance, several LPN programs tap into health-related issues discussed in our journal, providing students with a comprehensive perspective on matters. To give an example, the lpn programs in iowa online offer an all-inclusive educational experience of broad healthcare topics, including environmental health and family medicine. These programs combine both practical nursing skills and detailed theoretic knowledge based on research like those covered in the Journal of Epidemiology and Global Health. This synergistic approach of hands-on experience and rigorous academic study ensures a depth of understanding and proficiency needed in these evolving fields. Therefore, considering an LPN program might be an informative and beneficial step towards fully engaging in studies related to public health and epidemiology.
